The Joy of DMB
Bob Lefsetz is a pretty crazy dude. But sometimes he says something that is spot-on. For instance, this post on Dave Matthews Band:

It was like being at a jazz concert. Not that I’ve been to many jazz concerts. It wasn’t about hits, but playing. It was about where the music was gonna TAKE YOU!
...
You can buy a Dave Matthews album. You can watch one of his videos. But you won’t get it until you go to the show. And, fans don’t care if you don’t come. They don’t want to be brought down. They want to be in reverie with their friends, a club outside the mainstream, where music can save the world.

I’m watching Carter Beauford on the big screen. He’s pounding the drums. And he’s SMILING! This isn’t work, this is play. This is the essence of human life. This is JOY!
